Sorry, Apple mobile device users, your first little pre-holidays gift
has been delayed. Apple has reportedly canceled today's expected iOS
4.2 release, the controversial one that might or might not be lacking
AirPrint. We'd hoped to solve that particular mystery before the
weekend, but it seems we'll have to wait a little longer thanks to a
serious looking connectivity bug plaguing the iPad. Many users of the
Golden Master version of 4.2 reported that a WiFi connection could be
established by their devices but, once made, they were unable to
actually do anything on the 'net, and not being able to do anything on
the 'net is what we like to call a Very Bad Thing. No word on exactly
when a new version will be available, but it should still drop within
the next few weeks.
